Prepared to Fill my Hands

Billy’s longhorn cattle have been busting out of their fence and trying, on occasion, to put a sneak on our yard to eat the good stuff Desiree has been tending there. The answer to that, naturally, is to go full-frontal Western.

I now have my trusty Red Ryder air rifle stationed at the front door. If the longhorns plod near my yard, I fill my hands, storm out the door, and shoot the cattle in the ass.

It’s impressive how quickly a few well-placed shots persuade the longhorns to pivot to a new direction.
